==Overview==
The city acquired prominence in the 2nd century BCE as the [[Nabateans]] took control of the main commercial routes which passed through it from the Arabian peninsula and [[Petra]] to [[Damascus]] in the north.
 
In 106 CE, Bosra was conquered and absorbed into the Roman Empire. The city, renamed ''Nova Trajana Bostra'', was the residence of the legio III Cyrenaica and flourished as the capital of the new province ''Arabia Petrae''.
